When good scammers get stupid.

So the last quality scam I got came from netcitycn.com. They were doing great quality scams and now this ... don't laugh too hard but seriously. "Hi," ... not even a title like user or valued client. The link again leads to tiny.pl JUST like the last one. and of course the use of "pls" again. What is worse is the opt-out on this one. The use of the number "0" in place of the letter "o" is amazingly stupid, and why would anyone believe they could unsubscribe at "tnx4theofferbutunscribed@gmail.com"?  The email even looks fishy. Something like, oh, "unsubscribe@netcitycn.com" might be believable. However, use of a gmail account on scam emails is about as dead a giveaway as it gets.

It made me wonder ... who is Net City CN? Typing in the title bar produced this http://mail.netcitycn.com/email/scripts/loginuser.pl redirect to a very basic email service. In other words, it's just gmail only more obscure and sounds a bit more professional. Also, .pl is from Poland; I didn't bother looking last time as I didn't care, but I felt it would be good to be armed with more knowledge of where the scams are coming from.

I did a whois look up and got
